The edge of the insulating glass is the most vulnerable to heating and cooling loss, condensation, and frosting. Condensation is an unsightly problem that will eventually stain wood, peel paint, and rot frames. Condensation can also contribute to mold growth. In fact, visible mold can often be found in poorly insulated or installed windows. Mold is more and more being linked to child asthma plus increases in respiratory illness, allergies, and outbreaks of fungal diseases. KEEP CONDENSATION OFF THE GLASS WITH THE WARMEST INSIDE TEMPERATURE POSSIBLE. The primary window condensation culprit is its insulating glass spacer. As a homeowner, its’ just as important to know what type of window spacer material is being used between the panes of glass as it is to know what type of glass package is going into the window. What is Warm Edge Technology? Common spacers made with metal can conduct heat and cold – causing condensation at the edge of the glass. To overcome the thermal inefficiency of conventional aluminum window spacers, the window industry has developed a new spacer system called warm edge technology . If the spacer material conducts less heat or cold at the edge of the glass than a conventional aluminum spacer, it is described as a “warm-edge” product. However, most of the newer window spacers still contain some kind of metal that will act as a conductor of heat and cold. The world’s only TrueWarm® edge is Super Spacer® because it has NO METAL.

So far this renovation has been one of our easiest—of course much of that can be attributed to the fact that we’ve hired out a lot of the hard labor, but now that we’re in the DIY phase, it was only a matter of time before we ran into a few bumps. Let me be honest and real for a minute. We are far from DIY professionals—in fact, more than half the time we’re trying something we’ve never attempted before and have no idea what we’re doing. The hope with this blog is to share our experience and encourage those of you who are also unsure of their abilities to get out there and do it—or, learn from our mistakes and do things a different way or hire it out (no shame in that!) When I started blogging 4 years ago we had nothing more than a crappy battery powered drill and some screwdrivers. We often found ourselves in DIY hell, on the verge of quitting so many times. I’ve finally learned that the key is having the right tools, and time/experience. With experience also comes knowing when a job is too big/technical/time consuming and it’s worth hiring out. Honestly if we could afford to hire everything out, we probably would. We don’t DIY for fun but there’s definitely the reward of personal accomplishment that comes along with it (and every now and then a project is actually enjoyable!) Moral of the story is… I can share our journey in a handful of words and photos and make it all look quick and easy, but there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes. And sometimes it really sucks. I don’t want to lead anyone to believe that they can take on more than they can handle and end up with a nightmare project (been there too many times). I aim to be as thorough and honest as possible so you can make those decisions yourself based on your skill level/resources. And please, learn from our mistakes, because we make them all the time. Back to our latest project. As you may recall, we built this wall and doorway into the storage room: Technically it doesn’t need a door…. but I’ve been obsessing over barn doors for years and this was the perfect opportunity to finally try it out. Brad was fully on board as well so when I came across someone taking apart an old barn down the street, I offered to take some boards off his hands. $20 later and it was all mine: After measuring the door opening and deciding on a door size, I started laying out a few ideas for a door design and came up with this: The vertical boards were too short to span the full height (around 75″) so I had to place a horizontal board on the top and bottom and extend them out a little to add some height. First I lined up my vertical boards and trimmed the ragged ends off: Much better. Then I grabbed my two horizontal peices and trimmed them to the door width (31″). To attach the boards, I flipped everything over to hide the screws, and lined it all back up (apparently I missed an important step here which you’ll see in a moment…) Once I had everything lined up and triple checked my measurements to make sure everything was square, we drove two screws into the ends of each board. For the cross piece, we set it on top of the door in the position we wanted and marked a cut line. I used a skill saw to cut the edges. A perfect fit! With the door raised on sawhorses, Brad was able to get underneath with the drill and screw the cross peice in from the back while I applied pressure from the top. And we had our door! This is where the easy/fun part ended. The graphics-only installation guide wasn’t terribly clear and there were a few parts that we still have no idea what their purpose is, but overall it seemed pretty easy and straightforward. But then as soon as we held the door hanger up we realized we had a major issue… There was nowhere for the rail to attach to, since the wall didn’t come down far enough (it’s a standard door opening height but the top ran into a ceiling beam so there wasn’t enough flat wall space). After a brief moment of panic and despair, we decided the only solution was to secure a 1×6″ across the top of the wall and attach the rail to that. Brad thought it was going to look ridiculous but I didn’t care—nothing was going to stop me from my barn door dream! I promptly ran to Lowe’s to grab the board and once it was hung, we were both relieved when it didn’t look as awkward as we had anticipated (of course it still needed some trim and spackle & caulk to blend in): Then it was time to mount the rail which presented another problem—the screws they come with are designed to go into a wall, but that wouldn’t work where the 1×6″ was hanging in the doorway since there was nothing on the other side of it. So I had to pick up some bolts, nuts and washers at Lowe’s. Here you can see the screws we used for the wall side in black, and the bolts on the right: The rail mounts onto spacers so the hanger can slide freely without hitting the wall. We had to make sure each bolt it was 100% perfectly level as we went or else the door would slide on its own: We made sure to predrill our holes before inserting the screws so the wood wouldn’t split. Here’s the mounted rail: A quick double check to make sure there was enough room to lift the door on… Back to the door. After measuring and deciding where I wanted to mount the hangers, we drilled a couple holes for the bolts to pass through. Then we discovered yet another problem: The bolts were too long! Not only that, but the lower bolt would need to pass through two layers of wood and it was too short for that: So it was back to Lowe’s again. Brad picked up two different sizes along with a couple washers and nuts to secure them. Here’s how it looks from the back: And finally that part was over… Now all we had to do was lift it onto the track and hope for the best….! You guys, it was so crooked. I’m not sure why it doesn’t really come through in the photo but it was so, so off. We couldn’t figure out where we had gone wrong. All we could do was remove the left hanger hardware, drill new holes and reattach it. That straightened it out but we were left with this uneven gap at the top…

See if We Have Top-Rated Garage Contractors in Your Area When a garage door is working properly, it's one part of your home that you most likely forget about. When it fails, however, you're quick to realize how important it is that your door functions properly. Many major repairs can be avoided with some basic garage door maintenance, but there are certain repairs where calling in a garage door repairman isn't just encouraged, it's required. An Apple A Day . . . Of course, the best way to stave off costly garage door repairs is to perform regular garage door maintenance. If you're mechanically inclined, basic maintenance tasks are within your reach and include tightening all of the fasteners on your door and lubricating all the rollers, hinges, tracks, and springs. Many homeowners choose to hire a garage door repairman to come perform regular maintenance check-ups for them. It's not a bad idea, since a professional who works with garage doors day in and day out will be able to spot smaller problems that you might miss, and fix them before they become bigger ones. Before You Call a Garage Door Repairman Because most homeowners aren't familiar with garage doors and their operation, they often fail to check a few obvious things before calling in a pro. The two most common easy fixes include looking for obstructions and checking your garage door opener to make sure it's getting power. Look closely to see if any garden tools, pieces of lumber, or other items are blocking the track. It doesn't take much to keep a garage door from operating smoothly, or to keep it from opening or closing at all. If you find something in the way, remove it, and you should be back in business. Check to make sure your garage door opener is receiving power on both ends. Replace the batteries in the hand held unit, and make sure the main unit is getting electricity from the home. You can also pull the release string that frees the door from the automatic system. If your door works fine manually, you've successfully identified the problem. Time to Call the Garage Door Repairman If things still aren't working after you've tightened everything up, lubricated all the rollers, tracks and springs, and checked for obstructions or power issues, then it's time to pick up the phone. A garage door repairman is an expert the field, and with so many moving parts, it often takes a professional to identify where the system is failing. Also, with the increasingly complex technology that keeps automated garage door openers running, you often need to call in a trained technician to gets that aspect of your garage door system back on track. Never Try This at Home Finally, keep in mind that there are certain repair jobs that you never want to try yourself. Most garage door systems have several high tension springs and cables to help them open and close easily. Never try to repair these parts of the door yourself. High tension cables can cut like razor blades when released, and high tension springs can turn into deadly projectiles if not dealt with properly. Since serious personal injury is a real possibility, any repairs involving cables or springs should be left to your garage door repairman to handle.

Choose the right paint. Everyday wall paint consists of a formula not suited for surfaces like cabinetry. It’s known to chip and it won’t stand up well to repeated cleaning. It costs more, but choosing an alkyd enamel, like Benjamin Moore ADVANCE or Sherwin-Williams ProClassic will hold up better in the long run and since the formulas are self-leveling, will leave you with a smoother finish. Learn more about alkyd-enamels in this post. Choose a color that will flatter your appliances. Consider this: I had a lot of older, black appliances in the kitchen in my old house. They stood out like a sore thumb surrounded by oak cabinetry. When I stained all of the cabinets dark brown, the black appliances nearly disappeared. Magic! In this kitchen, we have an abundance of almond appliances that aren’t quite ready to kick the bucket, and almond isn’t my favorite finish for appliances, but miraculously, by painting the cabinets a similar light sand color, they suddenly seem to fit in perfectly. When we eventually update, we’ll probably go to stainless steel appliances, which will still fit in nicely. Remove all of the hardware. All of the hinges. Every last screw. The knob. The magnets that help to keep the door shut. It takes time, but it’s worth it to have a clean slate when you begin refinishing the surfaces. Take the time to organize the hardware. One of the best tips I came across was to label each door by number beneath where the hinge goes in the frame. Label a plastic baggie filled with that door’s hardware with the same number. Place a small piece of painter's tape over the number on the door, so when the painting is complete, you can remove the painter's tape and see the number. The small place where you had written the number should be inconspicuous enough not to be seen (ideally, it will be hidden behind the hinge hardware). Pack up your kitchen cabinets neatly. Pack paper bags or plastic bins for each individual “pantry-like” cabinet, so that the contents can be easily returned to their home when the job is through. Stack small appliances out of the way. Keep the cookware you use most regularly (a fry pan, your big pasta pot) on your cooktop. Transfer your silverware into coffee mugs – one for each spoons, forks, knives, and serving utencils – and let them be the centerpiece on your dining room table. You’ll still need them throughout the duration of your project, so best to keep them handy. Roll up the rugs, clear the countertops and remove the curtain.You’re going to make a mess. Consider buying or renting a handheld electric sander. Regardless of the surface material you’re refinishing, sanding all of the surfaces is essential to creating the best area for primer and paint to adhere. You’re going to be covering a lot of ground, and an orbital detail sander will both speed up the process, evenly prep the surface, and take a lot of the effort off your own muscles. I was painting over solid wood, but if you’re painting over laminate consider the tips I gave in this post, where I refinished a laminated tabletop. Buy a lot of sandpaper. Buy multiple packs of sandpaper to fit your palm sander (I used 15 sheets each of 80 grit and 120 grit to prep my 40+ doors and the base cabinetry surface before painting). I also bought a pack of 10 sheets of 180-grit sandpaper, which I used to lightly hand sand between coats while priming and painting. Buy a lot of tack cloths too. Cleaning the surface is just as essential as sanding the surface, is. Remove all of the dust and debris after sanding by wiping the surface with a tack cloth. It will lift all of the dust while containing the mess (you might want to don rubber gloves for this part – the cloth will make your hands sticky, too). They’re sold in packs of 2-3 for only $2-$3, and if you’re like me, you’ll use 20+ during the course of the project to manage dust between coats. Use oil-based primer. Kilz came recommended by several painting pros I conferred with – specifically the oil-based formula, not the water-based. With the oil-based formula, the hardwood is less likely to discolor painted white cabinets over time (wood is known to “bleed through” and give the paint a tinge of yellow, especially if it's knotty wood). The oil-based also creates a very well-adhered surface on which to paint. Have the primer tinted, if you’re painting a dark color, to lessen the chance of needing multiple coats. I went...

Exactly what I wanted Love the look of this hardware clean lines. Rolls very smoothly but take time in measuring to get it level. Only negative is the floor guide, it's plastic and not sure how it will hold up. I'm getting a metal one. Joe 1 month ago Great Product Just installed by my contractor with no issues. Looks great with Home Depot finished Alderwood barn door. Makes no noise opening and closing the door. Appears to be solid. These look so good that we may get rid of the bi-fold doors on our walk-in closet and use the same combo door/hardware. At this point would definitely recommend. dbb 8 months ago Nice Product, But ... Overall, a very nice product, and we are very happy with it. But 1. The floor guide that keeps the bottom of the door on track is made of plastic, and ours broke after a few weeks of use. 2. Notice that the Manufacturers Warranty is None. 3. I couldn't find Everbilt online to order a new piece, and the Home Depot store rep couldn't find a way for me to get another guide either, so he told me to return the entire product and get a new one. Who is going to remove and reinstall this unit because ... read more a plastic piece broke? Finally, after nearly an hour on the phone with me, a Home Depot customer service rep was able to find a replacement part for me. 4. Since then, I found a barn door floor guide online that is made of metal (choice of black, satin nickle, or bronze), and I will install it as soon as I get it. I would recommend buying a $15 metal floor guide when you initially install the door to avoid the aggravation that comes with the plastic one breaking.

If you have or have access to a laser level I recommend using it instead of a beam level. I used a quality 4 foot beam level on the first installation, and found that was not precise enough to prevent the door from creeping open. I re-leveled with my laser level and solve the creeping problem. Too soon to know about durability. The beam is aluminum and the rollers are plastic, I would not recommend exceeding the 250 pound door weight recommendation.
